9 Months!!

Hard to believe that you have now been out as long as you were in. We can't imagine our lives without you!

Quite a month for you. Besides mastering your surprised faces (clearly my favorite), you also checked surgery number 3 off your list and what will be your third and FINAL cast for now (hopefully for always!!)

You sort of have this entire surgery thing down these days.

Patient information? You found no errors there.

Post extubation wake up? Standard sleepy and crankiness...

I kid you not though... 30 minutes later... I looked down to this...

Your resiliency is so incredible. Aside from the ability to kick your legs a little, new, shorter --WATERPROOF-- cast also meant you were able to take your first bath in 13 weeks. Seating was a little wonky...

And you had QUITE the fan club... It felt so fun to celebrate something so very anticipated!

Let's be honest... those siblings are completely smitten...

it would seem the dog is too...

You grew two top teeth this month and now officially get to go crazy with real food. You seem SO excited about this milestone...

Well, except for the day that the raspberries were SUPER tart. We all had a great laugh at your expense.

This month you have become QUEEN of all things zerbert.

And even had your first visit to the pool. Lucy immediately splashed you in the face which had you in deep laughter. It's going to be a fun summer for sure!

Right on target, we started to see a bit of mommy loving attachment on the end of last month.

You are very quick to cry when I walk out of the room. I can't believe I was able to document this laugh through tears thing you do when I walk back in the room. Talk about emotional roller coaster. Your crazy will fit right in with the other emotional nuts in this household.

It's been a wild ride, Miss Annabel! Can't wait to celebrate all the beautiful bouts of NEW in the month to come!
